I just rooted and I'm running on stock. I would love to change my notification bar. Could someone explain it in detail for me. Is there a way to do it without flashing another ROM? Im planning on flashing liberty soon though. Im a noob so any descriptive help would be awesome!

nope, you have to flash it but its not hard...
you can use metamorph, this is what i did because i just never got around to installing a rom. I did this on my droid 2 (rooted) stock rom
This is the site i found the notification bars on, but i dont know how to change the clock, so i have a black bar and a black clock, which i dont mind to much, but it might bother you
droidpirate DOT com/category/metamorph-2/notifications-metamorph-2/
EDIT: that site also contains other morphs for things like battery skin, gps, signal... so on
remember to ALWAYS make a nandroid backup incase things dont work out as planned
Sorry wrong thread

Could you please run me through the process of using metamorph? I tried doing some research but wasn't satisfied enough to try. Do I just place say the notification bar theme in the android themes folder open metamorph and then new project, find the bar zip and click it? I hope it's that easy! Also have you run into any problems?

I've been wanting something like this that we can flash over any of the latest Cm7 versions with the status bar softkeys (from mad-murdock).
So I just threw one together myself.
This is a CWM zip file that you can flash with clockworkmod and will replace the soft key icons in CM7 with the honeycomb ones.
Thanks to:
The Cm7 Team
Phiredrop for his phiremod cm7 stuff
nfcrockett for uploading the icons from the SDK.
coldboot for inspiration
Please Note: This does not work on the current batch of nightlies, and I will not update this particular mod until there is another cm7 final release.
If you wish to do so yourself, feel free to use the icons from the apk

Worked fine on my nook.
Changelog:
4/18 Gtab/Vega Users update: The Gtab/Vega version should now properly install on Gtabs and the Vega - I have not been able to test this (and the guys in the Gtab IRC were less than helpful) So I need some feedback on this.
4/15 Phiremod Edition:[/B] This should be able to seamlessly flash over phiremod without losing any of his themed elements in the notification bar. Big thanks to phiredrop!
4/13 v1.3: Changed the notification pulldown shade to be darker (less transparent) for people having issues with it.
4/11 v1.2: Made a new search Icon from scratch - let me know what you guys think!
4/11: Top should now be working, I also edited the search button background to match the rest of them. I had forgotten about it, because I dont use it. I'll try to whip up a more honeycomb-esque looking one later.
Feedback is welcome/appreciated. Screenshot attached.
looks good mate. cheers!
It does look really good.
I use status bar on top alot, especially when using nesoid, or when my daughter is playing on it. So if you would like to make a version that changes the icons in both modes, i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, yeah I'll update it to work on top as well. Should be up later tonight when I get home from work.

why not use cm7 official? its got all of ttrc2 with bugfixes
Thanks for putting this together. I really liked the HC look. If only the launcher was functional.
Thank you for this. I was planning on digging through the framework folder but this saved me the trouble. They look great. Now if only I could figure out how to change the order of the buttons......

Looks great, but i do see one oddity - the search icon is noticably lighter in background than the rest of the icons.. almost like search was in a selected state. Its not, but it looks a bit wierd. if you could fix that, this would be perfect!

These look great! I'm glad you shared them.
Great job, thanks for making the changes thus far, the icons look really good. I especially like that the icons have no background image and they are just "in" the status bar. It looks alot cleaner that way imho.
Very nice work! I like using the "Cyanabread" theme and having the "green" in the Notification icon kinda throws things off from an aesthetics perspective. I would like to have the icons bigger, like when I was running HC, but that is a CM7 thing, I think.

They can be made bigger. They ended up coming out a little small when I was resizing them. Personally I like them how they are though.
Thanks for this man. I think personally it goes better then the stock buttons, because they look built-in, instead of just literal buttons. No offense to the stock button designer!
My Version of the GingerBlur framework given to us by kennethpenn with the 1% battery mod by shoux.
Battery + Charging Icons provided by _JKay_ over in the I9000 forums, and all others are courtesy of Samsung, lol.
Bios GingerBlur Boot Animation Edited by Krshaw18 is the provided bootanimation, as its the one I use.
This is only a mod to the GingerBlur framework, all I did was put all the pretty pictures in the right places... if you want to thank someone look above, donate to them.
Changes to GingerBlur framework --> Battery Icons, Signal Bars (1-4 are Silver, 5th is Green), Data Icons, and wifi signal.
*H icons are provided but 3G is the one constantly shown as thats the one I like.
Any Issues let me know, and I'll try and get to them tomorrow. However I am participating in a marathon this weekend so nothing may show til beggining next week.
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON MY PHONE(AT&T 4.1.83) I WOULD NOT TRY THIS ON ANY OTHER VERSION. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPERWEIGHT.
Added the original GingerBlur for those requesting it.(Check Previews)
Added GingerBlur Ver2 = Original GingerBlur with the Battery Icons from GalaxyBlur (not tested, and no previews, but made the same way as the others)
All downloads are CWM Flashable Zips.

There's probably one available somewhere else (although my searches doesn't find anything), but can you make one with only the battery icons [for GingerBlur]? I quite like the current look but want batt. percentage. Would be greatly appreciated

Great, thanks! Will flash it later and let you know the result.
Not to sound really picky but I prefer the battery icon in the Galaxy version, but don't want the other replacement icons. Is it just a matter of unzipping the 'original' mod zip and replacing the icons within with the battery icons from the Galaxy version, then rezipping and flashing?
@others I believe GalaxyBlur is what you see in the first two images- ie data/3G/etc icons changed to the Samsung icons as well as the battery.

can i install this over GladiAtrix 3?
any battery drain after install themes?
GalaxyBlur is just the random placeholder I gave my theme due to most of the files I added being from the SGS II system dump. It'll get a more cleaver name soon.
And Yes, this will go perfectly fine over Gingerblur 3.1 and GladiAtrix 3

No problem, I already uploaded it if you hadnt already done it. And yes, its just a matter of pulling the right icons from the "drawable-hdpi" folder and placing them in your "framework-res.apk".

Thanks- that was unexpected
I guess I know what to do now if I find other icons that I like (and can stop bugging you ).
Downloading v2 right now, will update this post when complete.
EDIT: Flashed, no problem. First boot after that took some time (thought it had broken something lol) but it eventually got there.
One thing you should probably note in OP is that the animations are now changed (looks like CyanogenMod's...?). Personally I don't mind but I think some people would prefer the stock animations which are slightly less fancy.
Now if only I could get the launcher menu to fade in or pop up smoothly as opposed to having it just appear...

Like I said in my first post in this thread, there probably was already a version like the one I had in mind, but (admittedly quick) searching didn't reveal anything.
That said I prefer the iconset in the v2 version here over the one you linked. Larger numbers and a bit clearer from what I see.

What icons are you talking about? The battery icon I assume? If so, then cool, thanks for the information. The other one apparently has grey menu text. Does this one?
Hi All,
I am currently using the latest EWJet Rom and I really like it.
The only thing that surprised me was that in the previous versions, there was no transparency background (when displaying a menu, there was a dark background I could not modify).
In this version (3.5), the background uses transparency, and we get the homescreen background as a background in menus (instead of the dark).
I don't like this, I feel like I cannot ever find a background that allows me to see clearly the text in the menus.
Does anyone know how to remove this background transparency?
At the moment I just put a black background in my homescreen so that I can get a black background in the menus. So I would really enjoy a REAL solution !
Thanks
Can I get any help about this issue ?
In the recent posts of the EWJet Rom thread, someone writes something about a "no transparency zip" but I cannot find it...
Use search function.

1) I used search before posting (even though this is my first thread on this forum, I am reading it for several months --> this is the first time I do not find the answer by myself)
2) I do not want to change Rom, I wrote that I like it. I personnaly believe it is the fastest Rom on X10.
Moreover, there was an answer to the guy who wrote about the "no transparency zip", saying that it only works for the notification bar, not for the menus.

All you need to do is update the (i think 4) background images in the framework-res.apk and semcGenericUXP.apk (both in system/framework/) turn it back into the sony wave if you like but. on a side note.
does the rom have tinting or are the apps all FULLY transparent. eg. look at the atached pic.
the dialer part is FULLY transparent and the part where the numbers come up is 80% tinted

Ok, I am done pulling my hair out so maybe I can pay someone else to do this for me lol.
I want a Transparent Status Bar exlcluding the Clock / Battery .. All I want is Notificatons on left hand side and Signal/Wifi on the right hand side.
I have been trying to change framework to make it work but however all I can manage to do is either make it completely dissapear or change the color. I thought that I could atleast hide the notifications by making the battery and clock display transparent but when I do that it off centers the wifi/signal bars and just doesn't look right.
I however have not been succesfull at making the Bar itself transparent.
So, to sum it up. I will pay for someone to do this for me or willing to accept any and all pointers on how to accomplish this myself.
Systemui controls expanded status bar and everything except the battery. In systemui goto res/layout/ you can set dip of items to say 0.9999999 to hide it. Also colors.xml in res/values/
Running ICScrewD ROM
So you want a transparent status bar with only notifications and wifi/signal without the clock on the right?
How much $$$?
u in the right forum bro?
@Thegodfather
Yeah, I would think this is the right forum as its a Theme request.
@Ssconceptz
Yes, transparent Notification Bar with just the notifications on the left and Wifi/Signal Icons on the right. No battery Icon or Clock.

Ill look into it but I heard the transparent bar doesnt work on the home screen of TouchWiz so this may be your issue. I am looking to remove the AM/PM as in ICS so I can probably test this too.

Sorry bout my signature. I did have the Skyrocket for a few days but took it back due to it being a major annoyance. The new APN's they use for the LTE Data plan is stupid and gave me more data issues then I care to touch on.

I don't use TWiz currently do to this issue haha. I am using ADWEx because I can totaly hide the Status Bar but I don't care for doing that tbh. I played with Launcher 7 and its statusbar replacement but couldnt get it to work right after pulling things apart so trashed that project. I dug into some MIUI Framework but I can't even start to compare what they changed.
Is there a way to replace the StatusBar.apk from system with a customized version without it breaking somehting else.

Free version:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.wp7barfree
Just what a quick google search brought up
The problem with WP7 bar is it is just overlay and doesnt actually replace the stock status bar and it actually uses a bit of battery. This is the reason I want the stock status bar modified.

If I were you...I would flash MIUI, then d/l extended mod settings, flash it and you can swich the statusbar layout and it will be transparent....if your sold on having touchwiz i dont think it is going to happen for u. Everytime i tried i could never get it transparent. So im on miui....plenty of great themes too.
